A number of BRP members join BNM

The president of Baloch Republican Party, Brahumdagh Bugti’s, controversial statement at the wake of 27th March, not only created resentment among pro freedom Baloch nationalist political parties, but also earned displeasure of party cadres that resulted in shape of resignation and separation from BRP. After one month of deliberations and discussions with Baloch National Movement’s leaderships, they put their trust on BNM leadership and, formally joined the party.

In their collective released statement, they declared: “We, while, trusting on BNM leadership, from today, will continue our political activities on BNM’s platform, and we are ambitious to accelerate our struggle for a free Balochistan in the same platform as well as working with party leadership will try bring improvement in organizational affairs.”

They also appealed to likeminded colleagues, instead of struggling individual basis they should join the ranks of BNM.

Baloch national struggle is a mass movement that has been created by Baloch common masses. Baloch nation has started its struggle against Pakistan’s occupation of Balochistan on 27th March 1948. For this purpose people from all walk of life made sacrifices and there is no space for class differences. In this respect Shaheed Ghulam Mohammad conveyed his message to every strata of society at the every knock and corner of Balochistan.

“Possibly some of political workers are in state of confusion and uncertainty due to the wrong policies of leadership in past or at present, but they should come into the fold of Baloch national political party to strengthen, and express their reservations and try to find a way to sort all confusions and differences through discussion and dialogue. We cannot wait for another and expect an overnight change in political scenario; rather we must join this struggle of poor masses and address the weakness within party’s framework.” statement says.

They vowed, “Further, we would not be content with mere statements, demonstrations and gossips, but would struggle in light of Shaheed Ghulam Mohammad’s teachings and philosophy for the Baloch national cause by adopting the values of self-criticism that would lead us towards our destination of a free, democratic and secular Balochistan for our future generations.

The compass and domesticated camels helped the “silk routes” emerge between 200 and 400 CE, and peaceful interactions between the Han and Hellenic empires allowed overland trade to flourish. A major shift occurred in the late fifteenth century, when the invention of large ocean-going vessels and new navigation methods made maritime trade more competitive. Mercantilism and competition among Europe’s colonial powers helped pull commerce to the coastlines. Since then, commerce between Asia and Europe has traveled primarily by sea.1Against this historical backdrop, new railway services between China and Europe have emerged rapidly. Just 10 years ago, regular direct freight services from China to Europe did not exist.2 Today, they connect roughly 35 Chinese…
